BJ was raised to be tough and to look out for number one. This led to a lot of conflict in his life. Summing up his story, BJ will tell you that he drank, fell down a lot and went to prison. However, today he lives a life in which he's sober, and proud to be able to be of service helping the next sick and suffering alcoholic.\\xa0

NO MORE STRUGGLE. . .

And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone\\u2014 even alcohol.

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84

When A.A. found me, I thought I was in for a struggle, and that A.A. might provide the strength I needed to beat alcohol. Victorious in that fight, who knows what other battles I could win. I would need to be strong, though. All my previous experience with life proved that. Today I do not have to struggle or exert my will. If I take those Twelve Steps and let my Higher Power do the real work, my alcohol problem disappears all by itself. My living problems also cease to be struggles. I just have to ask whether acceptance\\u2014or change\\u2014is required. It is not my will, but His, that needs doing.
